Ralph Solecki discovered nine Neanderthal skeletons in the cave between 1953 and 1960. The skeletons have been labeled Shanidar 1 to Shanidar 9. The remains suggest that Neanderthals had funeral ceremonies, burying their dead with flowers, and that injured individuals were looked after by their fellows. Casts of the bones at the Smithsonian Institute are all that is left of the findings, the originals presumably having been dispersed in Iraq.
